Secretary McKeon, can you explain in detail why the administration considers the assessments conducted by the Guantanamo Review Task Force and the Periodic Review Board to be superior to the assessments conducted previously?

I want to echo their remarks.

We do not think that the numbers that we have picked have kind of an absolute truth to them.

So this is a proposal that fundamentally shuts down tax havens, as we have discussed before, and prevents a global race to the bottom.

Let us speak of something that we can work out--thank you for that--and that we have worked out bipartisanly for decades, and that is the Social Security Disability Insurance.

I am hopeful that, as we move forward on that, we can bring you in our direction a little bit more.

Just common sense tells you, if you're still in jail after all these years, you've had numerous review boards, that you're probably dangerous.

No one should be transferred because of the concept of end of hostilities.

I challenge you to send to us legislation that would deal with a problem that's 2 years away.

I agree with you, the concept that the end of hostilities justifies the transfers of these five is ridiculous.

My goal is to keep people in jail that represent a national security threat to the United States.

I had this very conversation with President Obama probably 3 years ago.

I was supporting transferring the prisoners from Guantanamo Bay back to Illinois, in a maximum security setting controlled by the military.

But, it's been 13 years, the Guantanamo five haven't been.

I think the answer of what we have to do--we learned in 1986 what the answer on tax reform is.

with 60 of us in the Senate, in that bipartisan letter Senator Graham and I led, saying we want currency addressed in any trade agreement, I hope you understand that we are very serious about this.

I want to call your attention, Mr. Secretary, to a bill that Senator Alexander and I have that would reduce the questions on the financial aid form, the FAFSA form, from 108 questions to 2 questions.

I have offered to both the chairman and to Senator Wyden that we look forward to working with the bipartisan working groups.
